History of the business: “A unique opportunity allowed me to leave my full-time career to focus on raising my daughters. Only a few months in I found myself longing for community and purpose- so I joined the Goshen Farmers Market as their first ever Market Manager. I focused heavily on vendor relationships and social media. After taking a step back to welcome my twin girls, I was honored to rejoin the farmers market as a board member.
“This experience ignited my passion for agriculture and community, ultimately inspiring me to start Ozark Farm Sitting. Ozark Farm Sitting became an LLC in April of 2025 which is when we officially launched!”

Future plans: “Eventually, I would like to expand to other parts of Arkansas with a “manager” in that area that does the booking and work. Then at some point hiring farm hands to help execute the labor.
